Reviews

December 2008

***

“These studio sessions don’t really compare well with recordings of Schwarzkopf's live recitals - the voice can, at times, sound tired and over-studied - but there's a magnificent 'Abscheulicher!' from Fidelio.”

2010 edition

****

“a magical partnership, with even the simplest of songs inspiring intensely subtle expression from singer and pianist alike. Though Fischer's playing is not immaculate, he left few records more endearing than this, and Schwarzkopf's colouring of word and tone is masterly.”
